Chapter 108: Escape_1

"Lu Qingchuan will never marry you," Lu Yebai said coldly. "Put that idea out of your mind. My parents have already started looking for his fiancée, by the time you get better and are discharged, he may already be engaged!"

Meng Xi'er bit her lip tightly, without uttering a single word.

Seeing her complexion turn increasingly pale, Lu Yebai finally softened his tone and turned to look at Meng Xi'er.

"You and Qingchuan are impossible," Lu Yebai said to her, "Be content and calm down; the Lu Family will not treat you unfairly."

Meng Xi'er bowed her head and did not look at him, seemingly lost in her thoughts.

After a while, she said: "I want to be alone for a while. Could you...please leave for now?"

Lu Yebai looked at her, her face filled with exhaustion. He slightly pursed his lips: "Alright."

Since when had Meng Xixi stopped chasing after him?

How could she, in the past, have ever asked him to leave her?

And now, she was actually asking for solitary time, away from him.
